Is there some static method that I can call within the oracle driver zip file that will tell me the version of the driver ?
I am using the file oracle12.zip right now.
Thanks
Gavin

You can find this out through the DatabaseMetaData class using the getDriverName(), getDriverVersion(), getMajorDriverVersion(), etc..

Following Jamie's advice, this is the version data that I got from my driver:
JDBC version# = 8.1.7.0.0
Database version# =
Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.3.4.0 - Production Release With the distributed, replication and parallel query options
I then looked up the Oracle JDBC faq and it says:

JDBC 8.1.7 drivers can talk to RDBMS 9.0.1, 8.1.7, 8.1.6, 8.1.5, 8.0.6, 8.0.5, 8.0.4 and 7.3.4.


My question is this: Is 7.3.3.4 equivalent to 7.3.4 ? There is actually no mention of 7.3.3.4 in the FAQ.
TIA
Pho
